Just starting ibrance
I was originally diagnosed in 2002 and had a bilateral mastectomy and then in 2006 it moved to my bone and had 28 rounds of radiation. 11 years with no evidence of cancer then in August it reared its ugly head. I am not on ibrance and Letrozole. I honestly do not feel any different so it seems that

Chemotherapy medicine with lesser side effects
Hi, This is my first time here. My mother has been diagnosed with breast cancer. This is the 3rd recurrence. Last time was almost 11 years back. She had undergone 6 chemo sessions for both times. She had suffered a lot during those times, the side effects were really bad. She had mastectomy done last

Pressured to travel 2.5 weeks after laparotomy.
I woke from my planned keyhole oophrectomy, cystectomy and endo removal on the 2nd Dec to find the op hadn't gone as expected and I'd needed a laparotomy. Recovery has been far more uncomfortable than my two c-sections and previous laparoscopy with nerve pain in my leg from being flat on my sore pelvis

Results...At last !
Well got my results today.(Following my post below ) They found the cancer in my left breast. It is lobular invasive Her2 + and hormone receptor -. So could be better. It hasn't spread though there were different opinions at the multidisciplinary meeting as there was just a speck near my sacrum. So

Made it!
Just wanted to thank everyone for all the good vibes you took the time to send my way... Mastectomy was yesterday and here I am on the other side! The anaesthetist was amazingly reassuring and I didn't lose my mind. Few deep breaths and then she sedated me so heavily before she put me to sleep so I never

About side effects and diet during Paclitaxel chemotherapy
My mother had mastectomy done. She has ER and PR negative HER2 (+++) breast cancer. She has already received 4 cycles of AC chemotherapy. Oncologist said she will need 4 more cycles of paclitaxel chemo then radio therapy followed by 17 cycles of herceptin. After 4 cycles of AC chemo she needed 2 bags

Whirlwind
Hi lovely ladies. Been a whirlwind since my first post over 2 weeks ago. Ultrasound, biopsies more ultrasounds and more biopsies and an mri to boot. Upshot is I'm booked in next Wednesday for a double mastectomy. Just wondering if any of you have any advice for me as I near the op. I'm scared as hell

2 weeks post-op drainage
Hello everyone. I’m a newbie, I’m 37 and had a left breast mastectomy with lymph node dissection done 2 1/2 weeks ago. I’m still draining around 80-90 mls in a 24 hour period. Is this normal for some people or should I be concerned. I had 1 drain pulled 4 days ago and the surgeon didn’t say anything
